This is an old topic but i just found it so I figured I'd comment :) I'm white, DH is black. I'm the first white woman anyone in DH's very larghe family has married, although another one came soon afterwards. They had no issues although they were quite surprised. My family wasn't concerned in...

I am currently working on research related to high divorce rates and families with children with disabilities. I myself have experienced this firsthand which led me to the subject for my final research project for my BA in Psychology. I have a very short (5 question) survey which is intended for...

Make your own little mini thank you cards with his picture on it and a magnet on the back. Believe it or not, kids love pictures of their friends. The pics can be a face photo wallet size on a piece of card stock. Stamp some designs or put stickers(he can help too) and a "thank you for my party" or...

DS had his first visit shortly after he turned two. He got to go in the room and see the big chair but for the oral exam they did a lap-to-lap setup that worked out great. He sat on my lap facing me and stradling my legs. We held hands then he laid back and ended up with his head in the lap of the...

We adopted 5 year old now 6 1/2 and this is one of my main concerns with my child. I came across a quote once, "love is the truth". Or something like that. I read as the truth comes from love and trust. When my ds first came to us I asked him what is lying, and all I got was uhmmm, uhmmm,...

Hi! My personal opinion is that ignoring makes the situation worse, as you said yorself when they you ignore they start pushing each other. I have solved many children's quarrels by simply putting an end to it. If one child puts blame on the other child and they keep ping-ponging the blame...

Hi! Well, if your child asks you why there is no problem answering the question, BUT if after you asnwered the question and he keeps asking why? Why? And why?

Baby C has a blanket in her crib--it has a breathable waffle weave. I remember our ped. was okay with a blanket in the crib, but at what age I don't remember. I'd say if it wasn't huge and heavy I would do it. A friend of mine baby's lovey was a seahorse (fisher price I think) that was soft on...

I have the healthy care booster seat that fits on the kitchen chair, but not the high chair you have listed. Have used the booster from maybe 6 or 7 months up. Used with both children, and really like it. It is cheap, does not take up any extra room, and easy to clean and take with us on trips...

My DH and I are just starting to look into adoption we have been married a little over a year. He has two bio-kids (teens) and we are looking to adopt a toddler-10 yr old girl. The kids seem open to the adoption, talk about what age and seem excited. My SD even posted it on her facebook...
